For instance, the English sounds of "J", "W","Th", and "Ch" are for the most part unused in Hebrew. Although as an exception, I've seen a Yemenite Chazan use some of these sounds while reading the Torah.
Does the particular makeup of the language mean that only the included sounds are capable of being holy? Is there some other significance to it?
Quoting R' Avraham DeBalmash: "lashon hakodesh contains all possible movements of the mouth, but there is controversy as to what letter signifies which sound", on which he elaborates between differrent methods.
The yemenites have (some of them at least) kept the original pronounciation intact, where today many if not most Jews have lost some of the more obscure and uncommon sounds in their native country to an extent.
